Jungle Girl

Jungle Girl Off the Presses, Scoop, Friday, April 25, 2003 Janet Harvey; IDW Publishing; $3.99 It's been called Tarzan with a gender twist. It's been called Tarzan meets Apocalypse Now. It's Jungle Girl, the exciting Janet Harvey comic book set for a July release from IDW Publishing. Jungle Girl takes the reader to the wilds of South America in 1916 - where a young girl has reportedly been leading Indian insurrections against the Putamayo rubber companies. Enter Nicholas Carston, a representative of the English House of Commons, who must determine whether the girl is a British citizen or not. But she certainly makes things difficult for him...   from Janet's livejournal blog entry:   "I have huge arms. There's not a lot I can do about it. Like the St. Pauli Girl, I have giant, beer-stein carrying, German arms. Irish face, German arms. Hardly the build of a supermodel. When I work out - as I had done before the photo shoot - the fat goes down, but the muscle comes up. If I continued on with it - which I never did, as you can imagine, after that horrible comment - perhaps one day, I would have lean arms. But I never worked out that hard since. For a brief moment in my late 20's, I had the perfect combination of low bodyfat and no muscle in my arms that kept me from the St. Pauli girl arms that I dreaded like the plague. But since I left New York, my arms have developed the flab again. I suppose I could marathon run until I was a stick, but I like weightlifting. And really, it seems to be the best way to develop a body fat ratio that promotes, you know. HEALTH. That thing that we are supposed to be striving for, rather than vanity."
